Lactoyl-CoA dehydratase

Template:Infobox enzyme The enzyme lactoyl-CoA dehydratase (Template:EnzExplorer) catalyzes the chemical reaction

lactoyl-CoA $\rightleftharpoons$ acryloyl-CoA + H₂O

This enzyme belongs to the family of lyases, specifically the hydro-lyases, which cleave carbon-oxygen bonds. The systematic name of this enzyme class is lactoyl-CoA hydro-lyase (acryloyl-CoA-forming). Other names in common use include lactoyl coenzyme A dehydratase, lactyl-coenzyme A dehydrase, lactyl CoA dehydratase, acrylyl coenzyme A hydratase, and lactoyl-CoA hydro-lyase. This enzyme participates in propanoate metabolism and styrene degradation.
